I have looked at this thread already ... but I can't find anything else. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I know replication is the recommended way to sync two freeNAS servers, but for reasons which are not relevant that is not applicable to this particular case - at least not initially ...
I have a old freeNAS 9.10.2-U6 system which I am moving to a fresh 11.2-U7 build. When I try to sync the new server to the old server I sometimes get the correct file placements, but I sometimes don't.
For example, if I set the rsync module and push task for
/mnt/old-pool/sourceDirectory
and the target rsync pull module and task as
/mnt/new-pool/NewsourceDirectory
The new install might get it to the correct location, but it is just as likely to end up in (additional path level added in red)
/mnt/new-pool/NewsourceDirectory/NewsourceDirectory
instead of
/mnt/new-pool/NewsourceDirectory
It is also not consistent. It can do it correctly once, then again, then suddenly add the additional path level, but it always and additional name related to the original target path root directory. This occurs whether the sourceDirectory and NewsourceDirectory names are the same or different.
Is this a known bug? Should I go and install U6? Is it a problem syncing from 9.10-U6 (I don't think so as I regularly call an rsync from a WSL script to a local windows drive to back up without any problems)? Am I missing something?
Thank you for any comments or guidance, however small ...
